Hi David, Chris & Wojciech,

On inaturalist there are three photo's of Choerades sp:
https://www.inatu...s/37628409
https://www.inatu.../179665159
https://www.inatu...s/37724123
Difficult to see, but none look like Choerades xuansonensis Tomasovic & Bartolozzi 2018

As to Mactea, there are four described species, the only one with entirely golden haired abdominal terga is Mactea pyrrhothrix Hermann, 1914. A specimen would need to be collected to compare or desscribe the species in the photo.

Kind regards,
Ectemnius
